Surprisingly enough most of the bacteria in your stomach actually plan on helping you. Eating away the bad possibly harmful nutrients that make their way to your intestine in turn saving your stomach. This helps to keep the rest of your body in check. Hundreds of nerves reside in the intestines and rely heavily on the bacteria and the nutrients passing through to do their jobs. Their jobs are very important as well. These nerves are what makes the hormones and things like serotonin that help to keep your brain and your overall mood in check. The relationship consists of many other smaller relationships inside and outside of your body. It is important to feed yourself good food and it is even more important to pay attention to your body.
